Add option to install BusyBox utilities instead of GNU/Linux utilities
techwizrd opened this issue · comments
From the BusyBox About page:
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.
BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
It'd be nice to have an option to choose the BusyBox Homebrew formuale instead of the GNU/Linux formulae.
Why? Isn't busybox intended for embedded devices?
Can you expand on why some people might want this on macOS?
